Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (MWCT)

The Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust (MWCT) works to protect the legendary ecosystems and astounding biodiversity of East Africa through conservation that directly benefits local Maasai communities. 

The Maasai communities of this area own all of the land between the protected National Parks and within their land lie critical wildlife migration corridors and habitat reserves, forests that are carbon sinks and rivers and springs that supply the fresh water not only to this ecosystem but to more than seven million people in Kenya, including the second largest city.

MWCT funds and operates programs that promote sustainable economic benefits from conserving this ecosystem, creating a cutting edge model of successful community-based conservation.
